Pessimistic about his chances of re-signing Darrelle Revis before he becomes a free agent next year, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is open to trading the star cornerback, a person familiar with Johnson's thinking said Wednesday night.Revis' contract will void after the 2013 season, and there is a clause in the deal that prohibits the Jets from using the franchise tag.If they don't sign Revis to an extension, the Jets could lose him as a free agent.

Not a bad move. He seems to want a new contract every other season & is now coming off injury.

Re: Jets to shop Darrelle Revis

They want "AT LEAST" a 1st rd for him!! If it was not for injury's this season & last? right am i thinking correctly? If he was healthy, i may think on it real hard, but only if he will sign & shut up!

There no way in hell the Jets would trade Revis inside the division. And he is not looking for a new contract as he will be a free agent after the 2013 season. Woody Johnson does not think they will be able to sign him, so he put that out there and is now trying to back track.

Tony , I wrote that (yes it was sarcasm) because I knew somewhere in this thread there would be a post or 2 about us obtaining him. And of course I was not disappointed. Of course they would never trade him to a division rival , even the Jets are savvy enough not to do that. But hey , is anyone else on board giving up a #1 for him if we pick up a wide receiver in free agency. LOL

Darrelle Revis is the best CB in football right now, hands down. He is making 6 mill/per year, and Sean Smith wants 7 mill/per year. The problem with anyone trading for Darrelle is they are going to want to be able to re-sign him, and you KNOW he is going to want and get a mega deal. You can't afford to give up a 1st round pick for a guy you MAY not be able to sign at the end of the season.

A kid that I like out there that I would not mind paying 7 mill/per year to is Cary Williams, the CB with the Ravens. Big, fast and makes plays on the ball, unlike Sean does most of the time. If the Ravens don't franchise him, I would like to go after him.

As far as Darrelle is concerned, I think he is getting tired of the foolishness with the Jets. It's a circus, and Woody Johnson, the owner is a Jerry Jones, Daniel Snyder type of owner. He threw Mike Tannebaum under the bus when he said that Tim Tebow was forced on him, when he is on record as saying he loved Tim Tebow before the trade had been made. He said he wants to remain in New York, but with the trade rumors, I think when 2013 is over, he is gone. That is, if the Jets don't trade him, and I know Rex Ryan and the new GM don't want to do that.

An NFL executive believes the New York Jets can land a first- and third-round pick for star cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Morning take: If the Jets can get that kind of value, they should jump at it. Revis is the best corner in football, but he wants a huge extension in 2014 that the rebuilding Jets cannot afford. I’m skeptical a first-round pick will be involved, but we will see.

A team that thinks they are one player away on defense from winning a Super Bowl will jump on trading for Revis.

2 major things that the team that trades for Revis will have to consider. One, he is coming off a major knee injury, although we have seen how modern medicine and the care and rehab these guys go thru can have them ready in a much earlier time frame. Still, DB cut and drive off their legs a lot, so that has to be a concern.

The other is can you sign him at the end of the year. He will be a free agent and it is rumored that he wants to be the highest paid defensive player in the game.

Anyone trading for him should make a contract extension a mandatory part of the feal

Re: OT: Jets to shop Darrelle Revis

There's apparently a lot of interest... and that's really no surprise. He's the best CB in the league and a very rare defender who can still shut down the opponent despite all the rules going against the DB's nowadays.

He will command a pretty penny, but isn't the best player at a position worth it?
